Australian Airplane Grounded After Snake Found on Board

Posted by Martina Birk on Thursday, June 6, 2024

"The snake was taken to quarantine to determine where it came from," a Qantas rep said. Mandarin rat snakes predominately live in Asia. The flight had just returned from Singapore, so our best guess is that is where the snake came from. (You're welcome, Qantas.) 

The snake was later killed by the Australian Department of Agriculture, so as "not to introduce non-native pests or diseases into the country," reports BBC. Also, they have enough snakes to handle already. 

They probably don't want to deal with any more of this s--t.
